Story summary

In February 2024, Oliver Glasner joined Crystal Palace and led them to their first major trophy by beating Manchester City in the 2025 FA Cup final. He also guided the team to a Conference League triumph in Leipzig. Despite Palace being initially denied entry into the Europa League due to a legal dispute with UEFA that demoted them to the Conference League, Glasner unexpectedly took over at Nottingham Forest just after his contract expired on June 16, 2025. This move was met with mixed reactions from Crystal Palace supporters, who were mostly grateful for his past achievements but unsure about his decision given recent tensions between the two clubs. On a matchday in late August 2025, Glasner returned to Selhurst Park as Nottingham Forest's manager and received a generally warm reception despite some negative chants towards the end of the game. The match ended with Crystal Palace winning 3-1, securing their first home Premier League victory since Glasner’s departure under new boss Pierre Sage.

Having arrived in the capital in February 2024, the Austrian led the south-east London club to their first major trophy when they beat Manchester City in the 2025 FA Cup final, overseeing a period of unprecedented success which culminated in their Conference League triumph in Leipzig. asserted

which → arrive → Leipzig

Glasner had been expected to take some time out to assess his options over the summer, so it came as a surprise when he took over at Nottingham Forest a week after his Palace contract expired. asserted

contract → expect → Forest

The Austrian’s decision was more shocking given that only a year prior Palace had been denied a place in the Europa League, earned after winning the FA Cup, and demoted to the Conference League following a lengthy legal dispute with UEFA that saw Nottingham Forest take their place. asserted

Forest → give → place

With Glasner now at the helm at the City Ground, it is unclear what reception he will get when he returns to Selhurst Park on Sunday, and Palace supporters have taken to social media to voice their opinions. uncertain

supporters → get → opinions

The majority of supporters remain grateful to Glasner for the success he delivered to the club, with one X stating, “He deserves a great reception to give our thanks for his and the club's achievements.” asserted

He → remain → achievements

Other accounts offered similar sentiment, with one supporter stating that while he “hate[d]” the fact he joined Forest, he “still love[d] the man for what he achieved.” asserted

he → offer → what

Despite winning the Conference League, last season was not without its issues for Glasner, and he came close to resigning at the turn of the year shortly after announcing he would leave the club at the end of the season. asserted

he → win → season

He mended many relations by lifting the Conference League, but there remain a minority of supporters who have not forgiven him, with one person stating on X, “He lost me in that last year when he started sprouting all sorts of rubbish to protect brand Glasner.” asserted

he → mend → Glasner

Neither Palace nor Forest have got off to the best start this season, with each club taking one win from their opening five games, and Glasner will be desperate to get one over his former employers. asserted

Glasner → get → employers
